Re: Heat Shield on Manifold 200 1988

Don--

Good answer. Have you ever wondered about the purpose of the heat shield/warm air intake on the 240 turbo? During a cold start, the warm air would be drawn from the exhaust manifold, run through the turbocharger (where the prudent owner wouldn't compress it too much until the engine is warm) and then cooled in the intercooler. So what's the point of the warm air intake?
